I was hurt at work several months ago. How long do I have to file a claim for workers compensation?
Injured workers must file their claims in writing within 90 days of their accident unless their employer knows they were hurt, in which case they have up to a year to make their claim. It always is helpful to fill out an accident report even if a claim is not filed right away. If you suffer an occupational disease, you have up to a year to file a claim. Often, a doctors insurance form will be a claim even if the worker doesnt personally turn it in. If there is any doubt about whether a claim was made, it is important to immediately seek legal assistance.
